Q. When did Terry Malts begin? Tell us about the history...
Well, Terry Malts started as a side project back in 2009 when the three of us were playing in Magic Bullets. A lot of our friends at the time (Weekend, Young Prisms) were doing loud, fun music and we wanted to do an indie-pop/punk version.

Q. How do you describe Terry Malts sounds?
Well I’d say we’re a Power Indie Pop group now but a lot of the early stuff was much gnarlier.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
Nowadays I co-write with Phil (our singer/bassist) then I sit down with a journal and begin the process of pre-producing the album and compiling references to give the engineer once we’re ready to record. Then we go in and lay down the basic tracks, I’ll overdub guitars and keyboards, and finally Phil will do the vocals.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
I like French Vanilla, Seablite, Marbled Eye, So Many Wizards, and Sob Stories

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
I’d love to cover a Comsat Angels song called “It’s History”

Q: What are your plans for the future?
We’re going to do more writing this year and hopefully so some recording with BART Thurber.
